The Murong Xuan's troops of Tuyuhun Army marched northeast, and suddenly reported the Turkic cavalry attacked 80 miles away from Heisha City.

The Xianbei army then adjusted its direction and set it against the enemy. The Turkic cavalry occupied a high place to launch an attack. The two sides fought for half a day without a distinction. Murong Xuanmi's lower five troops were not even broken, and the Turkic cavalry fled far away.

The pursuers chased after a while and were ordered to stop.

Murong Xuan convened the generals and said: Mochu Khan is far northwest. At this time, the troops in Heisha City are empty. According to recent days, the total number of Turkic troops nearby is only more than 10,000.We don’t need to get entangled with it, and we will make plans to capture Heisha City!

The generals thought it was good, so they led their troops to continue advancing.

The Turkic cavalry was attacked several times in just 80 miles, but every time the Turkic people were slightly unfavorable, they hurriedly retreated. The Xianbei army could not seize the opportunity, and both sides suffered casualties but had no substantial progress.

Two days later, Murong Xuan's troops arrived near Heisha City. After several round-trip conflicts, the troops were already a little tired.

But seeing that the Turkic cavalry were all arranged near the left side of the city, and they were ready to defend the capital, Murong Xuan looked at his camp and said: The attacks on the Turks two days ago were just to delay our army's capture of the city, and he did not want to make progress, so he did not want to fight to the decisive battle. Today, the troops were at the city, and they had no way to retreat. I hope all the troops would encourage each other in this battle.

A minister suggested: My army came from thousands of miles away, and I was not in a hurry. I was exhausted after a series of rushing. King Khan could retreat ten miles to set up camps and set up defenses, and then he would take down the city in one go.

But someone immediately said: There is only one Turkic cavalry, and I have fought with me a few times, and I am also trapped in people and horses.If there is no difference, why should we miss the opportunity for war?

The man just frowned and said: The Turkic horse is smaller than the Helong horse, but its endurance is very good. How can we compare our own weaknesses with our strengths?

At this time, Murong Xuan said: You all make sense, but our army has a superior number of people, so there is no need to worry about it.Today, when the troops are approaching the city, they are as if they are still patrolling, they are afraid that the night will grow long and the dream will be long.In this Turkic Khanate, the people living in the people are silently sucking their subjects. If they delay, they are worried about unexpected rescue. We will regret it at that time.

After hearing this, the ministers shouted: Khan is wise.

So the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry set up their formation and slowly approached Heisha City. They divided the army into five units, two large groups of people and the king's flag were located in the middle, and they marched together in a regular arrangement.

In contrast, the Xianbei people had only one unit to be more concentrated; while the Turks seemed to be more scattered, and the cavalry outside the city were divided into three parts, facing the southwest, arranged in the shape of a pin character, and were very far apart, and the camps on the left and right wings were almost approached to the city wall.

When the two armies faced each other, the light-toned Xianbei army and the dark-toned Turks seemed to be a black and white contrast.

There are more reasons for the sunshine in Tuyuhun. The Tuyuhun cavalry's clothes are mainly white and light gray, and their heads are also wrapped tightly. The turban covers their heads and helmets. Some wear veils, which cover the guillotines to prevent wind and sand, and most people cannot see their faces.

The Turks were dressed in black, some wore iron helmets and hoods, and some wore hair. In terms of image dress, the Turks looked even behind the Tubo and Tuyuhun Xianbei people.

A Turkic cavalry could be seen in sight standing in front of the city, with an estimated three or four thousand people.

The Tuyuhun King's tent then issued a banner to order the front army to attack the enemy army on the front, with a group of about 6,000 troops, which was about twice that of the Turks.

The Turkic troops remained motionless. When a unit of Xianbei Army advanced hundreds of steps away, a general in the middle, in armor shouted loudly in Tuyuhun language: Let the brutal northern barbarians see the courage of our Xianbei people!

The troops shook flags and shouted, and the atmosphere became more and more lively. The horses' hooves of war horses were running faster and faster, and the battalions jointly charged towards the opposite side.From a distance, they looked like a white tide that was overwhelmed.

The cavalry holding long weapons took the lead, and there were weapons similar to spears on both sides, but the structure was slightly different and the names were also different.

After the close forces were connected, most of the cavalry fought with swords and iron tools swayed in the sea of ​​people, just like fish jumping rapidly in the dry pond.

The sword styles of Tuyuhun people are mostly straight, while the Turks are mostly slashed with scimitars.

Both sides had casualties and injuries, and there was no obvious advantage or disadvantage. However, in order to prevent being besieged by left and right, the few Turks had to fight and retreat while fighting.

The Tuyuhun Army actively adopted an offensive posture with a wider cross-sectional camp.

After a while, the scouts reported to Murong Xuan's central army, and the Turkic cavalry on the left and right sides of the city showed signs of moving.

The minister with war experience immediately made a comment: If the front army gains profit, two more troops should be sent to support the left and right, and the Turks should not take advantage of the opportunity.

Murong Xuan was kind, so he immediately ordered the arrangement to be adjusted and two more armies were sent to advance left and right; the central army and the remaining part were scattered horizontally and moved slowly behind.

As time goes by, the Turkic army has failed and has been defeated, and many people have been killed.

Sure enough, most of the Turkish people on the left and right wings rushed towards the middle. They had limited troops and almost all their cavalry were invested in less than half a day.

The Turkic armies on both sides wanted to rescue the front army fighting, but new troops were advancing in Tuyuhun. The Turkic army was forced to adjust its direction and face the enemy's resistance.

The war had already burned in front of Heisha City. When you looked up from the battlefield, you could see the ancient, somewhat simple and low city.

On the walls of Heisha City, Li Shizhi was seen wearing his former white Confucian robe, wearing a long sword on his waist, and standing in the wind.

Nearby were the little Khan Tosi, the ministers such as Tsubasa and Tsuyagu, who were all standing on the top of the city and paying attention to this war that was related to their wealth.

The situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tosi said anxiously: You can retire if you retire. He ordered the front army to fight to the death to block the Xianbei people!

At this time, some ministers suggested that the defenders on the city be prepared to defend the city, and there was another suggestion that Tosi evacuate before the capital was surrounded, so as not to become a turtle in a jar.

But Li Shizhi said calmly: It's just a temporary disadvantage. This situation is expected due to the huge gap in military strength, so you should calm down.

The Turkic people with brows were very unhappy with Li Shizhi's expression. One of them said angrily: You are standing and talking without any pain, but if you are captured by the Xianbei people, even if you are a Han Chinese, then the Xianbei people will probably hand you over to the Tang Dynasty and have good results?

The teasing meaning of Li Shizhi is a fugitive, and he himself means insulting and contempt, but it is just a bit obscure.

Unexpectedly, Li Shizhi did not have any knowledge with him, and still maintained the very pretending look and said: Since the cavalry battle was unable to make a profit, it is no longer necessary to fight suddenly. You should order them to retreat and avoid it.

A minister could not bear it anymore and said: I was so stubborn two days ago, running around and not staring at me and sewing out no results. Now the Xianbei people have retreated and directly attacked the city!

Li Shizhi ignored the minister who spoke and clasped his fists to Tosey: Looking for an opportunity to hinder the enemy's strength, and supporting both the inside and the outside, both offensive and defensive, to repel the enemy's troops. This method was the idea agreed before the war.Now that the troops are at the city, do not change the strategy lightly, otherwise there will be no way to go in a hurry.Please think twice by Minister Tosi.

Tosi looked back and said: The Han people offered their suggestions, and ministers such as Shi Yugu agreed. Since we adopted them, we cannot give up halfway, otherwise we should find another good solution from the beginning.

After hearing this, Li Shizhi clasped his fists and said: Minister Tosi is a wise man.

Tosi then sent people out of the city to instruct the cavalry outside the city to retreat first to reduce casualties.

As soon as the Turkic cavalry retreated, the three Xianbei tribes followed. The river near the city was shallow and slow, and the cavalry could not be stopped at all. The Xianbei people soon followed him and crossed.

The Turkic cavalry did not enter the city in a hurry when they arrived at the gate of the city, but instead ran on both sides based on the fortifications of the city walls.

At this time, there were no other obstacles between the Xianbei Army and Heisha City, and the troops were really at the gate.

According to the purpose of the marching plan, Murong Xuan did not focus on eating the Turkic cavalry, and his sword pointed directly at Heisha City.

Immediately ordered a unit of the front army to attack the South Gate while they were victorious.

The Xianbei cavalry first charged over and prepared to shoot on the city walls, suppress the defenders, and the people behind dismounted and attacked and seized the fortifications with tools such as long ladders.

Black Sand City does look broken and short, and it's within range of shooting arrows from the bottom of the city.

This kind of city is called Heisha City, but people are also used to calling it Nanting, because the person who built the city was the Huns, and it was regarded as the center of the southern part of the Huns; the Huns have long disappeared from the stage of the Zhulu, and the new actors on this land have become Turks, and the Turks rebuilt Heisha City as the capital.

Both the Huns and the Turks were nomadic people, and fortifications were not their strengths at all, so the defense ability of Black Sha was evident.

As the army gallops, the city seems to tremble in the sound of horse hooves, looking shaking.

Murong Xuan rode on the horse and lifted up the mask in front of his face. His thin face also showed a sense of heroism at this time. He drew out his long sword and pointed directly at Heisha City: Take the Turkic Capital!
